Remapping

Every remap starts from the original file read from the car's own ECU. Generic files from the internet are not used: they are written for a typical car, not for this one.

How it works

Mobile service

Call-out to wherever the car is, in Peterborough and nearby towns. Terms are under Area.

Aftercare

The job stays open until the car runs right. File adjustments after the first drive are part of the job.

Won't start or lost keys

BMW cranks but won't start

The starter turns the engine but the car won't start? Send the registration and what happens when you press start. The cause can be the key, the immobiliser or the engine electronics. First the fault is found, then you get a clear list of what needs doing.

All keys lost

BMW and MINI: a new key can be made even with no keys left. Mercedes: send a message first so the model and key system can be checked.

Questions

How long does a remap take?
Usually about an hour. It depends on the ECU.
Do I need to tell my insurer?
Yes. A remap is a modification, and insurers usually need to know about it.
What about the manufacturer's warranty?
A manufacturer can refuse a warranty claim it links to a remap. The original software is read first, so the car can be returned to stock.
How can I pay?
Cash or bank transfer.
How do I get a price?
Send the registration, the engine or ECU if known, and what needs doing. The form below opens WhatsApp with the message ready to send. Trade and regular customers: ask about trade prices.
